Following the top-level reorganisation within the company earlier this year, Flipkart, which is now led by chief executive officer Binny Bansal, has focused on reducing expenses and is aiming to become profitable.BENGALURU: India's largest internet company Flipkart is seeing more exits of top managers with two executives-Lalit Sarna and Sunil Gopinath also leaving the company last week.

Sarna was heading the payments product design for Flipkart while Gopinath was the technology lead for the marketplace division.

Their exits come in the wake of the departure of former chief product officer Punit Soni who left the Bengaluru-based company in April. Following the top-level reorganisation within the company earlier this year, Flipkart, which is now led by chief executive officer Binny Bansal, has focused on reducing expenses and is aiming to become profitable.

"Initiatives that are product-driven like image search are being scrapped and business-led launches including exchange days and advertisements have been given priority," said one person directly aware of the changes.

As a result, senior managers once hired to lead new product development are choosing to leave the company, the person added. Gopinath, as the technology lead for the marketplace business, was in charge of initiatives such as building products for the marketplace division, including helping merchants list on the platform and monitoring their performance.

Sarna, hired last year by Soni, a former Google executive, was an entrepreneur who sold his luxury home decor company Style Ashram to join Flipkart as head of the payments and transactions business.

In May, Flipkart had changed the reporting structure of its technology team, as chief technology officer Peeyush Ranjan moved back to Silicon Valley due to personal reasons. He is heading the data science vertical for Flipkart.

Sachin Bansal, Binny Bansal, sales director Hari, accounts managers Sumit Anand and Sharauque among other employees have been named in the FIR registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by Naveen Kumar, owner of Indiranagar-based C-Store Company.
